Can anybody helpme > on that? You'll have to write a shell 'case' for AIX Monterey, checking to make sure it is monterey, and setting LDFLAGS accordingly. If you look around in configure.in, you'll see a few other 'special cases', all to tune the way the compiler is called. Depending on what you need to do to detect monterey, you could fit it in one of those. Just search for 'Linux' or 'bsdos' to find a couple of those cases.

Right, thanks. I was looking at first to modify CFLAGS and LDFLAGS (as I thought would be cleaner) but I have got it working by just modifying CC and LINKCC instead (following the crowd on that one).

[Trent blames placing *.a on the cc command line for his problems and Thomas and Barry, etc. tell Trent that that cannot be]

Okay, I don't know what I was on. I think I was flailing for things to blame. I have got it working with simply listing the .a on the command line.

Thanks, Trent
